Lessons

Nature photographers are patient; waiting for the early morning light or setting sun is key. Jared shows you in real time how to read the natural elements in the scene and the different angles of light to wait for.

The auto adjustment button may not make your image art gallery worthy, but it’ll get close. Jared shows how to maximize the capabilities of Lightroom and how to work your image after it’s auto-adjusted.

Using a wide-angle lens can help you capture the vast beauty of a scene, however, this can include unwanted objects in your composition. Jared demonstrates the power of the healing brush in real time and shares troubleshooting tips.

Nature lovers’ favorite photos often require a little more TLC in Photoshop. Jared shares simple fixes such as content aware fill that can create big effects. Watch as he replaces a part of the foreground and learn how to get the most out of the tool.

Jared models a technique of nature photography editing: stepping back, assessing your image, and selecting the appropriate tool to make simple fixes. See how to use the lasso and mask tools to make slight adjustments.

National park postcards almost always have stunning skies, but what if the conditions aren’t quite right? Adding clouds to create that stand out photo is actually a simple process; Jared shows you how to do so a believable way.

I wish more people would present this way!
Each step from beginning to end demonstrated in short, concise and useful actions. Every tool and technique is something that I either use, (now better) or will start using because I now understand how to use it efficiently.
I highly recommend this course!

Finally, a video tutorial that taught me what I've known on basic level and truly explore how to use it properly and what everything means. I've been waiting for something like this for awhile now. Greatly improves my technique now so thank you for this!
